RE: Shadow and High Key Contact Printing

It doesn't imply necessarily making two (or more) negatives, since one can
make negatives - that include all the tonal information present in the
original, and prints well with the intended printing process - either
digitally or in the darkroom.

Well, I never heard of a contact-printing-specific techniques named shadow
printing and high key printing... Why don't you ask the workshop
instructor(s) directly (what did he/she/they meant by using these terms)? To
me, shadow printing implies making negatives that print with detailed (open)
shadows, high key printing implies making negatives that print high key
images with detailed highlights...

Subject: Shadow and High Key Contact Printing

I stumbled across the terms Shadow Printing and High Key printing in the
context of making contact negatives (ok I'll admit it, it's part of a
workshop that, for logistical reasons, I'll never be able to attend). Is
this a new idea or an old one? Can someone explain this technique and theory
in general terms? Does it involve making two or more seps instead of a
single negative?
